Where to buy high grade RCS in Melbourne?

[Wem21]

Hi guys,
Ive recently set up a shrimp tank so I would like to get some medium grade shrimp, preferably low sakura and up, but none of the local fish stores in Melbourne stock them, and I don't like ordering live animals online. Ive checked gumtree, but none are available, only low grade red cherries are there for sale. Where can i get some?
Cheers

Have you checked Nature Aquariums in Mont Albert. They usually carry a good range of shrimps.

There is a few people on FB shrimp groups that may have some.

I agree shipping them could be disastrous with this weather unless you had heatpacks etc. We went down to -4 ish recently overnight.

Yeah, I checked, I have 6 of their shrimp and theyre high grade normal red cherries to low sakuras, but I would like something higher than that

Any aquarium clubs locally? Great places to meet breeders. Ours has all sorts of breeders running around.

I didn’t know any shrimp clubs in Melbourne, all the good breeders I know are interstate

Maybe wait for spring before ordering them?

I wouldn’t be able to convince myself from paying for $30 a shrimp from Nature Aquarium, with that budget I can buy green jade

Wait for spring. Early spring will be fine.
